308661 ÷ 83 
We're looking to find how many times 83 goes into 308661.

Moving on to step 1:
When dividing 3 by 83, we get 0 with a remainder of 3.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 3 to get 3.
Grab the next digit (0) from the dividend, add it to 3, then carry on: 30 / 83

On to step 2:
If we divide 30 by 83, we get 0 and a remainder of 30.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 30, we end up with 30.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 30, then carry on: 308 / 83

Advancing to step 3:
The number 83 fits into 308 3 times, leaving a remainder of 59.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3.0
If we subtract 249 from 308, we get 59.
Grab the next digit (6) from the dividend, add it to 59, then carry on: 596 / 83

Step 4:
When dividing 596 by 83, we get 7 with a remainder of 15.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 37.0
The remainder is 15 after subtracting 581 from 596.
Grab the next digit (6) from the dividend, add it to 15, then carry on: 156 / 83

Let's proceed to step 5:
When dividing 156 by 83, we get 1 with a remainder of 73.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 371.0
Deduct 83 from 156 and we're left with 73.
Grab the next digit (1) from the dividend, add it to 73, then carry on: 731 / 83

Advancing to step 6:
The number 83 fits into 731 8 times, leaving a remainder of 67.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 3718.0
Deduct 664 from 731 and we're left with 67.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 670, and continue the process.

On to step 7:
If we divide 670 by 83, we get 8 and a remainder of 6.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 3718.8
Subtract 664 from 670 to get 6.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 60, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 8:
83 goes into 60 0 times with a remainder of 60.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3718.8
Subtracting 0 from 60 leaves us with 60.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 600, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 9:
If we divide 600 by 83, we get 7 and a remainder of 19.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 3718.807
Subtracting 581 from 600 leaves us with 19.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 190, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 10:
83 goes into 190 2 times with a remainder of 24.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3718.8072
Subtract 166 from 190 to get 24.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 240, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 11:
When dividing 240 by 83, we get 2 with a remainder of 74.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 3718.80722
Subtract 166 from 240 to get 74.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 740, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 3718.80722 with a balance of 7.4e-05.
